I’ve been thinking. I have gone to tons of weddings, engagement parties, bachelorette parties and baby showers for friends. I don’t know if I will have a chance to have this in my future.
So I thought, why not still have something similiar so I don’t miss out, but have it be something that celebrates life! I can still do a reception with food, a band, etc all at a nice venue. I spoke with my dad and Barb and they think it’s a good idea. I am having some trouble with timing though. I would love to do something soon, but summers are difficult since a lot of people head out of town.
Realistically, I would need to plan something for the fall, it would be nice to have something outside like I have always wanted anyway. The problem is that I have no idea how I will be feeling and what treatments, if any that I will be on. I already missed out on the first fundraiser, and I don’t want to have that happen again especially if I put a deposit down on a venue. This will keep me a little busy and I love planning stuff like this!

Hi Melissa - What a beautiful idea! I can feel the excitement in your words as you're writing about planning the event. You remind me of a friend who was left paralyzed by a bullet fired during a random, senseless shooting. Instead of feeling sorry for herself, and dreading the anniversary date of her injury, she's turned the date into a celebration of her new life and of being alive and grateful for the many friends and supporters in her life. It's a truly inspiring occasion, just as yours will be. Make sure you let us know the date, time and place and your EmpowHER friends would love to join you for the celebration. Take care, Pat
